GALLERIES

January
Spirit of Place
These new works by Frances Murphy are inspired by the Speaker’s Corner in London where people gather to Communicate through language to voice their diverse views. “As resident curator I am aware dual function of Tigh filí; as both as a gallery space and a poets house,therefore an awareness of possibilities of representation inform my work. The work seeks to represent these twin worlds of open expression through words and visualisation. The plaster heads and
mixed media explore associations and interrelationships between these two different art forms”. Gallery 9, Tigh Filí Gallery, Thompson House, MacCurtain St.

January
Exhibitions
Two solo shows by Ciara Agnew and Rachel Ballagh. www.affordableart- ireland.com FORM Gallery, Unit 2, Paul Street Shopping Centre.

Fenton Gallery, Wandesford Quay.

January 5 to 28
Of Light and Half-Light
John Hall and David Lester have been involved in photography for over twenty years. In the past they have been involved in group exhibitions and now feel that the time has come to raise the stakes and jointly present their exhibition “Of Light and Half-Light”. Of particular interest is the diversity of styles within each photographic genre resulting in stunning colour landscapes and evocative black and white images. John has captured the rugged Irish landscape in vivid colour, using
predominantly wide-angle perspectives and combining extremely long exposures at dusk (sometimes up to thirty minutes) with “light- painting” techniques to achieve his unique style. David has used the black and white medium to portray a subtle
interplay of light and shadow on flesh and wood producing a series of thought-provoking still life and figure studies along with images of individual trees. The quality and subtlety of lightIng combined with well-honed compositional skills paramount in taking photography beyond the “snapshot” into the realm of art. Cork Vision Centre, North Main Street.

to January 29
Blake & Sons: Alternative Lifestyles and Mysticism in Contemporary Art Nine original prints by the celebrated painter, engraver and poet, William Blake are brought together with work by contemporary international artists.The artists Participating in the exhibition include David Altmejd, Markus Amm, Kenneth Anger, Sam Basu, Henning Bohl, Christopher Bucklow, Stephan Dillemuth, Simone Gilges, Sebastian Hammwöhner, Dani Jakob, David Thorpe, Johan Thurfjell, Gabriel Vormstein and Walker & Walker. Glucksman Gallery, UCC, Cork.

to January 29
Passing Through
A major exhibition of the work of invited and selected artists who attended the Crawford College of Art & Design during the period 1974 - 2004. Glucksman Gallery, UCC, Cork.

to March 4
James Barry
James Barry (1741-1806) is perhaps the most significant artist to have been born and trained in Cork. Much of his works reflect the history and politics of his own times, as well as the classical art of Greece and Rome. The strong moral and social content in his paintings show him to be an early Neo-Classicist, yet his life was thwarted by a strong romantic temperament, an argumentative nature and financial misfortune. The James Barry Exhibition will present an unequalled opportunity to re-examine Barry's contribution to both the history of art and the history of his own times, with works on loan from key collections in Ireland, Europe and North America, as well as presenting recently rediscovered paintings. The exhibition will
conclude with an international academic conference which will coincide with the bicentenary of Barry’s death. Crawford Art
Gallery, Emmet Place.

to January 20
The Drawings of John Berger and Marisa Camino An exhibition (instigated by the artist Jim Savage) of previously
unknown collaborative drawings produced by John Berger and the Spanish artist Marisa Camino. Vangard Gallery, Carey’s Lane.

January 9 to 11
To Stay or Leave
By Daithi Kearney. To Stay or Leave is a stage musical set in Ireland of the 1920’s and 1930’s that looks at issues such as emigration and unemployment in rural Irish society. It is a new nation in the aftermath of Independence and the Civil War where the clergy exerted a strong influence over both society and the political system. It is also an Ireland of superstitions and piseog’s that clung to older traditions such as Irish Traditional music, song and dance. In a rapidly changing Irish society, the primary question was often to stay or leave. Presented by UCC Irish Traditional Music Society. 8pm. Tickets: f8/5. Box Office: 4904275. UCC Granary Theatre, Mardyke.

BABES IN THE WOOD. Robin to the Rescue!!

It’s that time again, oh yes it is! Cork Opera House is delighted to announce the much loved and hugely popular Christmas Pantomime, Babes in the Wood, sponsored by Bride View Developments and Calyx.

We invite you to come with us on a magical journey to the fairytale Kingdom of Rottingham. Two orphaned babes are abandoned and left at the mercy of their Uncle, the Evil Sheriff Spindleshanks. Their saviours in Sherbert Forest are Robin Hood and his hilarious Merry Men who steal from the rich to give to the poor. Sing and dance with the beautiful Maid Marian, hiss at the Henchman Ron Seal and laugh (and cry) with the wonderful Dame Knotty Knickers, not forgetting special guests King Kong, Willy Wonka, Super Nanny and many more!

Director Bryan Flynn has for the fourth year assembled a brilliant cast and creative team. Dave O’Connor returns as Musical Director with choreography by Avril Murphy. The amazing set designed by Lisa O’Mullane will wow audiences as will the stunning costumes. Part of the logistical challenge for the team this year is the huge number of young people (over 100) involved in every performance. These children are from three dance schools (Donna’s Dance Studio, Joan Denise Moriarty School of Dance and the Cork Arts Studio) and over twenty primary schools who will perform “Is this the way to Sherbet Forest [Amarillo!]”!

Babes in the Wood promises to be a rollercoaster ride from start to finish - An Action Packed Christmas Spectacular for all the family!

TICKETS: Tickets €17, €20 €23. Previews €14, €17, €20. All telephone bookings are subject to a handling charge of €1.50 per ticket.
